It’s never too early to start teaching body literacy.
In our home, we talk openly about periods, hormones, and our bodies - because understanding them shouldn’t be taboo, it should be normal.
We call the va**na what it actually is - the v***a.
We don’t hide pads, tampons, or period cups in the cupboard.
We talk about cycles, moods, and the magic of what our bodies do every month.
As an integrative practitioner and a mum, I feel so grateful to raise my daughter in a space where knowledge replaces shame , where curiosity is encouraged and her body is something to respect, not be embarrassed by.
A huge thank you to for the beautiful pukapuka gifted to me and my daughter, My First Ikura.
You’ve started a conversation that every daughter across Aotearoa deserves to hear.
Let’s keep making body literacy a normal part of everyday life 🩸🙏🏽
